Want to learn how to use WordPress without all the baggage of launching and maintaining a public website? You’re in luck. In this video, I’ll teach you how to install WordPress locally onto your PC.

What does that mean?

Installing WordPress locally means that you essentially turn your computer into your own personal server, onto which you can build your own personal website. In other words, it gives you the freedom to build a fully functional website directly onto your own computer that only you have access to. This is helpful if you’re just getting started with WordPress and you just want to get familiar with it, or if you want to test out some new coding techniques before launching them on a public website.

Before getting started, you’ll need to do two things:

  1. Download and install Wamp Server
  2. Download WordPress

The rest of the process is laid out, step-by-step, in this easy to follow video. Now get off your lazy ass and learn how to build a WordPress website!
